WEDO GLOBAL is honored to collaborate with the Family Development Foundation and renowned author, Ms. Shirley Loo, BBS, MH, JP to publish a multicultural picture book, "Seeing a Different Mama" (《看見不一樣的Mama》), which will be exhibited at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2024. This is the second multicultural picture book we have published following "MeowMeow is Missing!" (《MeowMeow不見了！》). This book tells the story of building friendship and connection between two families from diverse backgrounds, inviting parents and children to embark on a heartwarming journey together.
We believe that children can broaden their horizons through reading, and it will help them adapt and grow in a multicultural environment in the future. By reading "Seeing a Different Mama", not only can children learn the importance of respecting and appreciating each other's differences, but parents can also read together with their children, to embark on a journey of seeing things from different perspectives and learning about diverse cultures with spirits of inclusion and curiosity. The story also highlights the valuable experiences of our ethnically diverse colleagues and members in the community, as well as our aspiration of creating a more culturally diverse and socially inclusive Hong Kong society. We hope to inspire families to enhance their relationships by learning more about each other's cultures and having more meaningful interactions, despite their differences.
We're honored to have Artist Ms. Grace Chan and Dr. Alice Yuk, BBS, JP writing the preface for our new multicultural picture book, "Seeing a Different Mama". In the preface, both of them have shared their inspiring personal experiences of navigating diversity and inclusion, and to emphasize the importance of treating others with kindness and acceptance.
We will be hosting sharing and storytelling sessions at this year's Book Fair, led by the author of “Seeing a Different Mama”, Shirley Loo and our Cultural Ambassador. We look forward to meeting more parents and children and facilitating cross-cultural understanding and education. Details as follow:
